Last time anyone heard from Toshiba, Ice Cream Sandwich wasn’t going to hit its 10-inch Toshiba Thrive tablet until sometime in the Fall. Luckily Toshiba realized that summer was a much more appropriate time for Ice Cream Sandwich, and has surprised Thrive users with the tasty Android treat a bit earlier than expected.

Anyone who owns a tablet has, at one time or another, thought about how they could make it their car infotainment system. There have been a million solutions from universal mounts to professional in-dash installations, and while we’ve seen many, this is the first Nexus 7 I’ve seen double as an infotainment system. It’s an absolutely dreamy combination, and one that will have 90% of you thinking about hacking up your dash (you might want to leave it to a professional).

It would appear HTC it prepping to join the phablet market (which coincidentally is becoming quite large) this fall, with a 5-inch smartphone of their own. Not much is known about the device other than a rumored 1794 x 1080 (1920 x 1080 minus 126 vertical lines for Android’s onscreen navigation buttons) hi-res display and possible Snapdragon S4 chipset with Adreno 320 GPU.

AT&T announced last month that it would be launching shared plans for pooling monthly data allotments between up to 10 devices per account. Instead of paying for a separate data plan for each smartphone, subscribers would be able to use a 1-20GB shared plan across multiple devices, including tablets and desktop computers. Verizon announced a similar strategy in June.

Today AT&T has confirmed that its shared data plans will be available to new and existing subscribers on Thursday, August 23rd.

Apparently Samsung could’t keep its excitement over the Galaxy Note 10.1 contained and felt the need to announce a global launch ahead of their August 15th event. It’s official, and just like the Samsung event invitation, they’re now referring to the Note 10.1 as the “new way.”
